Safe Dividend Investing

著者: Ian Duncan MacDonald
  • サマリー

  • In 2000, I lost $300,000 in mutual funds that an investment advisor had put my lifesavings into.... I lost it because I had entrusted it to an industry that does not educate investors nor encourage them to look closely at what that industry is doing with their money..... I set out to find a better, safer way to invest..... My podcasts relate to what I learned in creating a generous, reliable income and in growing my wealth.... A few of the more important lessons I learned and explore are:.... (1) It is critical that you become a self-directed investor.....(2) If you can not easily measure the risk and potential in an investment, then do not invest in it. This excludes from your portfolio bundled investment devices, like mutual funds, ETFs and Index funds,..... (3) Financially strong companies who have paid “good dividends” for decades will continue to stay strong and continue to pay good dividends because it is both part of their "character" and in their executives selfish interest.....(4) Diversification is critical. Investing equally in the best 20 strong dividend stocks is the ideal.....A portfolio of 20 limits your risk in any one stock to 5% of your wealth..... No matter how strong you think a stock is, do not fall in love with it..... I have lived very well off my steady dividend income for 18 years, through two market crashes and one pandemic. I have watched my portfolio’s capital more than triple from where I started, despite taking out a generous dividend income every year to live on... In charts, for my second investment book,(Safer Better Dividend Investing), I spent months scoring all 628 dividend stocks paying dividends of 6% or greater traded on the TSX, NYSE and the NASDAQ. I discovered dozens of stocks that can provide not only a generous dividend income but outstanding capital growth.....Financial independence is realizable for careful, patient, dividend investors.

  • Podcast 195 - Safe Dividend Investing - WHAT ARE YOU REALLY INVESTING IN?

    Welcome to Podcast 195 on November 16th of 2024.

    In today's podcast in addition to the one US stock and one Canadian stock that stood out this week for their significant share price gain I was moved to write an essay on what you are really investing in, which has little to do with charts and what fund managers are choosing for you. No one is going to care as much about your invested money as you do. It is important that you do some basic analysis before purchasing any investment being recommended to you.

    Welcome to Safe Dividend Investing’s Podcast # 193 on all on November 2nd of 2024.
    After doing 190 podcasts I thought it was time for a change. This podcast will no longer be dedicated to answering new investment questions. However, you will be able to find answers to hundreds of questions answered in the previous 190 podcasts.

    What is different, is that every weekend I will now scan through thousands of stocks and bring to your attention one U.S. stock and one Canadian stock that appears to be stronger and stand out from all the other stocks showing a significant gain in share price in the previous 5 trading days. I will score these two stocks and provide you with their sub scores and Grand Score. Visit the attached transcript for each Podcast to see the scoring matrix for these two stocks.
